Get started for freeWhen unpolarized light is incident on two crossed polarizers, no light is transmitted. A student asserted that if a third polarizer is inserted between the other two, some transmission will occur. Does this make sense? How can adding a third filter increase transmission?
A spherical, concave shaving mirror has a radius of curvature of 32.0 cm. (a) What is the magnification of a person’s face when it is 12.0 cmto the left of the vertex of the mirror? (b) Where is the image? Is the image real or virtual? (c) Draw a principal-ray diagram showing the formation of the image.
When a room has mirrors on two opposite walls, an infinite series of reflections can be seen. Discuss this phenomenon in terms of images. Why do the distant images appear fainter?
Sometimes when looking at a window, you see two reflected images slightly displaced from each other. What causes this?
